There was a person who did not believe in Buddhism who crossed a small ditch. Because the water flow was very fast, he could not cross it. He saw the wood that no one had discarded beside him, and the Buddha statue was carved on it. The man happened to use it as a stepping stone and left across the small ditch.
Another Buddhist believer also saw a wooden Buddha statue carved in the water when he was passing through the ditch, and said, "I'm guilty!" Who is so blasphemous about the Buddha? I quickly went over to pick up the Buddha statue. I couldn't help but rolled into the ditch. Not only was I soaked all over, but I also hurt my feet.
The believer sat on the shore and couldn't help but sigh, Buddha, I am your believer, I am your believer, and I am willing to fish you out of the water. How can you punish me if you do not sin or blaspheme you?
didn't want to, the Buddha actually responded, and the Buddha said: Do you want to know why?
The believer did not know the meaning, but just shook his head and asked the Buddha to signal!
Buddha said: The person who just blasphemed me, he does not believe in Buddhism, so I cannot inflict guilt on him. And you trust me, the reason why you punish you!
believers were full of doubts and felt that this was the truth. If I had known that this was the retribution for following faith, I would not want to follow Buddha anymore.
Buddha continued, I punish you to plant a field of blessings for you and help you eliminate disasters. There are many evil karma in life, eliminating karma is the foundation of cultivation. The reason why I blame you is to prove that you still have some savings. Do you understand this intention?
The believer suddenly realized and put his hands together. My Buddha is merciful. It turns out that I am a sinful person, but there are still people who can save him. This is not a punishment, but the Buddha favors me. . .
This is just a fable, which means paying attention to faith. If you want to get blessings, you must first plant the field of blessings. And this kind of blessing itself is a practice that has experienced suffering. Believing in Buddha does not mean that the gods will protect you from everything going well and without worries! Such a mind-cultivation will only become further and further away from the original mind!
So, how should we deal with ourselves in life?
people stand in the world, should they realize what appearance is?
Life is in the world, hesitation and suffering! Love and hate are all in the sea of suffering. Who was born in the world is not a hardship? The baby's cry seemed to mean that he was about to experience this life. And in this life, there were so many hardships. I couldn't help but be pre-aware and felt extremely uneasy!
There is an American movie " When happiness comes knocking on the door ", a young black man living in San Francisco . He relies on being a salesman to support his wife and young children. He never felt that life was very happy, and of course it was not very hard, and lived a dull life like millions of ordinary men. One day, he realized how precious ordinary days were.
company layoffs made him lose his job. His wife ran away because she could not bear the long-term poverty life and even took her six-year-old son away. Not long after, his wife returned his son to Chris. From then on, Chris not only had to face the dilemma of unemployment, but also had to raise his son Chris independently from then on, and suffered a series of major blows.
At that time, he just wanted to go back to the ordinary life he used to be, with laughter and hip-hop, happiness turned out to be so simple, and he shouldn’t have asked too much. . .
practitioners want to get rid of all kinds of sufferings in the world and get rid of life and death. Therefore, the thinking of suffering Zen and actively accepting hardships are everywhere in the world of cultivation. They all want to achieve enlightenment by improving their cultivation, achieve great enlightenment, and become extraordinary!
In fact, in the world, the heart is the main focus, and all appearances are born from the heart! Friends who have studied Diamond Sutra should know that this sutra talks about the enlightenment of all aspects and then the destruction of the aspects. The core of the whole scripture is eight words: You should not dwell on anything and give birth to your heart! It is said that the Sixth Patriarch of , , Zen Master Huineng realized it because of this verse!
should not dwell on anything and give birth to its mind. What it means is that everything in the world exists in various forms. Good and evil, right and wrong, wealth and poverty, seeking profit and avoiding harm, etc. And these forms all exist objectively, and these forms are actually all phenomena. There should be no place to stay, and stay is to stay.Since we cannot change these appearances, then don’t stay in the appearance of these appearances and disturb my heart!
is born with the mind. If there is no dwelling on anything, it means that it does not stay in the appearance of this aspect, then the original mind will arise. This original mind is caused by the nature, and its nature is empty. Although it is empty, it exists. It is just that there is no desire or demand, a pure mind and few desires, and does not fight with the world!
is established in the world, and we first understand what appearance is!
people stand in the world, and they should be at ease!
In life, you will experience all kinds of hardships. In a material world that is already very hurtful and hurtful. If you have too deep obsession, it will definitely be even more painful and uncomfortable. If you deal with things in the world, you don’t have to be too obsessed with everything!
Seeing others driving high-end bridge cars and carrying famous brand bags, I feel that my material foundation is too low and I feel jealous and troubled; seeing other people's husbands are so capable and considerate, while half of them are so upset; seeing other people's children do not need their parents to worry about their studies, and their children are like divine beasts, I don't know when they will be able to learn. . .
People in the world are troubled, sometimes it seems so simple, trivial small things in life, unnecessary family disputes, and intrigues in fame and fortune. These are all causes of love and hate that make people suffer, but these are not the necessity of life, nor are they the protagonists of life. The protagonists of life make their lives peacefully!
People must first be at ease in life!
If you talk about peace of mind and establishing your life, of course, Yangming 年心文 . Wang Yangming Mind learning is the pinnacle of Chinese Mind learning!
He believes that in order to survive and develop, a person inevitably pursues something that can make him feel safe, including money, status, reputation, etc. But the difference is that some people pursue these things under the guidance of "conscience", while some people only regard pursuing external things as their only purpose.
If a person always keeps his mind on those external things, he will be very tired as a result.
The cleverness of Yangming’s mind: A person can pursue external things under the conditions of physical and mental happiness. Everything can be guided by conscience. No matter what he pursues, it is reasonable.
So, Wang Yangming's mind study tells us that we should be at ease in dealing with the world! Wang Yangming's theory is not only a magic medicine for people to practice their body and mind, but also an important magic weapon to solve people's basic life problems.
is based in the world. What are our needs and what do we want to get? In today's real society where material flows through the flow. Think about it, is every material a necessity in life? Armani, Hermes , Cullinan, hand-ground coffee. . . Are these necessary? It's unnecessary, why bother?
Fan Deng Teacher once interpreted Journey to the West in this way:
Tang Monk went to the West to obtain scriptures for 108,000 miles, Sun Wukong After a few, it happened to be 108,000 miles, Sun Wukong flew over with Tang Monk on his back, why didn't he let him fly? Instead of letting him go through the difficulties?
In fact, there is no Sun Wukong at all. Sun Wukong is just Tang Seng's heart. This is a distracted heart and a characteristic of the heart. The mind has seventy-two changes, and it can change as soon as you want. The mind can go one by one and a thousand miles away. . . But the real Xuanzang Master preaches like ordinary people, step by step!
finally successfully achieved his goal. The journey of learning from the scriptures and preaching is long, so you can rely on peace of mind!
Mencius said: "Everything is prepared for me. If you turn your body and be sincere, there is no greater joy. If you are forced to forgive and do what you want, no one will be able to get close to you." Everything here is prepared for me, not that all things are dominated by me. Instead, you only want to go outside without asking for anything.
is in the world. If you feel at ease, you will be happy!
people are established in the world, and they should establish their lives with ordinary hearts!
The ordinary mind establishes destiny, and the ordinary refers to nature. The natural mind establishes destiny, and does not indulge in desire or excessive! : The mind establishes one's destiny, that is, performs one's own affairs and practices, and follows the will of heaven to calm one's mind, and not be moved by all external things.
Live in the world. To get rid of troubles, we must withdraw our troubled mind from the world and find our free mind that is hidden under the influence of transformation, inclusion and socialization from the beginning of our birth. With the emptiness and clarity of our own nature, we can handle things with peace of mind and do worldly careers with a worldly mindset. We can establish our life with peace of mind, rather than maintain our life.
Taoist 's " inaction but everything is " means opposing random actions and wanton behavior! It advocates that each of us should pursue a life of subtraction, and this subtraction is to subtract for the sake of forcing it.
The Buddhist practice of doing things without intention does not teach us to do things without intention, but tell us to do things seriously, but not to have a heart that cares about the results, but is called doing things without intention. In other words, don’t be too persistent!
Professor of the Department of Philosophy at Fudan University Wang Defeng once joked that the difference between me and great men is that we are born with different karma. Life is born in the world, and it is all about eliminating karma.
The great man’s karma is too great, “establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, and open peace for all ages.” This kind of karma is too great and it will be difficult to eliminate in a lifetime. My karma is to teach you how to learn philosophy, and this karma is much better. I retire and my karma has been eliminated!
This is a philosophical principle in laughter. We should establish our destiny with our original heart, our ability, and not be too persistent. We stand with an ordinary heart. In the sea of suffering, we will not let love and hate make waves!
Establish the world and deal with the world, we don’t ask for anything outside of our hearts! Always soothe our inner self and change our attitude towards life!
Ascetic monk, traveling thousands of miles, but in fact, what he wants to get out is just two feet wide! And a life that is long-awaited can never get out of this two feet of broad mind in your entire life!
The sea of suffering, all appearances are from the heart! When practicing, you should focus on your mind!
